 The Biggest War in this game is installing it! December 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I recently played the trial version of this game and was totally impressed with graphics, sound and game play (though repetative at times). I purchased the regular version and sat through 6 hours (that's right 6) while the game installed. Then Blizzard's download manager began to download patches. Estimated time 9 hours (that's right 9). I called Blizzard and cancelled my account and threw the game in the trash. Pity that they just can't get it right!br /
 "Enter World" ~ Sometimes Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks, Or Games December 19, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If I was asked to come up with a hierarchical list of words that best described myself one of the last words I thought I would ever consider to put on that list is `gamer'. Not that there's anything bad about being one, it's just not something I've ever participated in. That is until I discovered `World of Warcraft' last week. Out of curiosity and completely out of character I purchased one of those $1.99 14-day trial editions of `World of Warcraft' on DVD-ROM and began the downloading process upon my return home. After a marathon, seemingly unending updating process on my PC I couldn't help but entertain second thoughts concerning my impulsive venture into the world of online gaming but eventually the process was complete and I was permitted to give this cyberspace experience a try.br /br /I have to say it, WOW and I'm not referring to the acronym for the game in question. After creating your character and clicking on the field labeled "Enter World" you're in for an amazing adventure. The colors, the creatures and the well-defined story-line make you literally feel as though you have literally entered into a landscape of mythic proportions. The most amazing aspect of the game from my perspective is its RP (role playing) capabilities that allow the player to feel as though he is an integral part of the game, molding the landscape and changing the tides of war by his decisions and actions. Truly amazing!br /br /I'm sure it's obvious to anyone reading this review, I'm hooked. You've got another convert Blizzard!
Very good game December 12, 2008
If you have alot of free time on your hands and like video games than get this. Such a good game I had to stop playing because it started taking over my life.
great game November 26, 2008
Bottom line this is a great game. for those other posts that say it is broken with no end in sight....yes there are other people out there that agree with you, but they are haters as well...they are the normal mmo surfers. they will play lord of the rings online, everquest, tabularasa, age of conan and warhammer online and never truly be anygood at there charecter...now the common argument is "well i have # of 70's" well the reason for that is they got into a good guild that took them under there wing thinking they where gonna be a legitament addition then they just up and quit after they leeched other peoples help. they complain that there is no customer service because they dont respond to messages and the game is getting to easy...for one every post i have put in has been responded to within the hour and the game is getting "easy" because they are listening to people. the majority of people like to actually quest not run around in circles for 3 hours trying to find the guy they got the quest from thats why they light up, its not making the game easier...its making it more user freindly thats all, bottom line people dont listen to the haters out there...judge for yourself get the plain jane origanal and buy a prepaid card and see...

I saw other posted similair reviews to what I'm about to post.br /br /If you're looking at getting into this game, avoid it for now. There are several other mmorpgs coming out that I'm considering picking up now. When I first started playing this game two years ago it was fun, challenging, and custormer service was good. As of November 2008, the realms are down daily, the patches have made the game easier and easier (Quest objects sparkle from across the map, instead of actually having to LOOK for them), classes are unbalanced (they constantly nerf and buff classes with each patch), and customer service is horrible...not providing real answers to thier customers.br /br /Overall, Blizzard has finally come to understand that so many people play this game and will continue to play. Despite being treated like crap by Blizzard, we all keep playing because of the social networks we've created. I have several people who I just enjoy gaming with. Blizzard now knows this...and understand it can get away with shotty customer service and extremely long down times.br /br /So if you're looking for a good MMORPG....this is no longer the game for you. Two years ago, it rocked...and I would be 5 stars across the board. Now? Avoid it.
